Viewing .qxd files

I am not a Quark user but a client has sent me a .qxd file. Is there any way I can view the file using any type of MS or shareware application?

Thanks,
Ken
 
The only program I've seen that can open qxd files (besides Quark!) is Adobe InDesign, though I suspect Adobe PageMaker can too. I have in the past, out of sheer desperation, opened up qxd files in a text editor, deleted all the junk and reset it in another application. I was young and being paid good money for it though, and I certainly wouldn't recommend it!

If possible, get back to your client and ask them to resave it as a PDF, if possible. It's not an unreasonable request as qxd files are pretty specialised. Even the sites I've looked at that specialise in file formats have no information on qxd files. Or, if it's just the text you want, ask them to save it as plain text.

And if you hear of a shareware qxd viewer, be sure to let me know!

Thanks for the ideas for reading a .qxd file. Got it in PDF and it worked.
